World Religions

In my opinion, Guru Angad Dev should be considered the greatest guru in Sikhism. Although hew as not the founder, he had a profound effect through the continuation of Sikhism. Appointed Nanak’s successor over his son, he reluctantly accepted the role. Although he made no significant changes, he took charge of the religion when it was at its weakest: the beginning. Although it is one thing to start a religion, or a cult following if you will, it is quite another thing to maintain the religion someone else started. Not to mention he also created an alphabet centered and established several centers of education. Although he did not make any profound changes to the religion, he is most important for his ability to keep going what would have died without his guidance or assistance. Even though he reluctantly accepted the job, he was the best man for it in the end. Without Guru Angad Dev, Sikhism would probably not have survived to become what it was today.
